As more and more severe storms occur, UConn continues to develop more advanced technologies and resources to prepare communities for power outages and shorten restoration times. The latest initiative – made possible by a recent $4.4 million federal grant – improves cities’ access to solar power and battery energy storage in the event of a hurricane or other power outage emergency. In addition, the project will create resources for Connecticut’s rural towns, where power often takes longer to restore. The US Department of Energy has selected Eversource Energy Center associate director Junbo Zhao and his team for a $4.4 million…
